Tiracol is the only part of Goa which lies on the side of Maharashtra separated by the River Tiracol. It is also locally called as Terekhol.
It is where the Fort Tiracol was originally built by the King of Sawantwadi in the 17th century being a strategic location at the mouth of River Tiracol.
Later on, in the 18th century it was conquered by the Portuguese with whom it remained till it was annexed by India after the independence.
It has the St. Anthony's Church and the statue of St. Anthony facing it in the courtyard.
The fort currently has been converted into a heritage hotel.
